Every publication reaches an exciting moment when the first proofs arrive. The publication date draws nearer, the book slowly takes shape, and so it is with The Collected Letters of Charles Ricketts, for which editors John Aplin and I received the proofs last week. For the first time, we saw the extensive project virtually in print: 2147 letters in three volumes with a total of 2267 pages. The letters are addressed to more than 180 recipients.
Correcting the proof is obviously a time-consuming task. Here is a preview of one of the indices of the work to be published by Brill (Leiden, Boston).
